Chapter 3348 Athena wearing a helmet (Part 2)
The person who sent the letter to Georgiana was a jeweler. Before she left, she had seen a very strange gemstone called zoisite. Its color reminded her of the wine-colored sea in Homer's novel, which would turn blue in the sun. Switch between purple and red.
But he didn't know the origin of this stone and why it was called this name. Now he found out. This gem was discovered in Kalencia, Austria, where there is a very clear lake. It has always been a favorite summer resort for the Austrian royal family and civilians. It is said that this gem was found on the shore of the lake.
It was named this because of a man named Zoe von James Stone, who was not the discoverer of this gem. Since 1790, he had been unable to walk due to illness and could only stay in the At home, he was still keen on mineral collecting, so he funded the Slovenian Scientific Society to explore minerals in Austria.
Zoe is usually a woman's name, such as the name of the Empress Dowager of the Byzantine Empire, but the Zoe in the letter is a gentleman.
Slovenia was not far from Trieste, but the thought quickly disappeared from her mind.
The kings and generals during the war only cared about strategy and layout. No one cared about the lives of the refugees. There was no space left in the history books to record them, even if there were 40,000 of them.
Before Napoleon returned from Egypt, he also sent other people back to France. A man named Brooks arrived in Toulon in May to provide supplies to Massena in Liguria, but his actions were quickly blocked by the British. However, his main purpose was not to deliver supplies to Masséna. He was intercepted in Brest on August 3, and Bonaparte's two frigates were passing through the Sicily Strait at this time.
The navy's rejection of Fulton's steamship was also related to power. He used a paddle wheel. Once it was destroyed, the ship would lose power and become a target. And more importantly, wind is free. Using steam ships will inevitably require fuel. Even for civilian use, the cost is very high.
Even Odysseus, who came up with the Trojan horse plan, didn't know where the wind would blow the ship. Dieudonné Dolomue, a member of the Egyptian Institute mentioned by Denon and Murat just now, is also a volcanic geologist. . Between the west coast of Italy, Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily there is a sea area called Tyrrhenian, which was ceded to France in the Treaty of Florence, as well as part of the island of Elba and the Piedmont. Duchy of Umbino.
During the war of 1799, Naples took the opportunity to capture the island of Elba, resulting in the waters being monitored and Dieudonne Dolomme's ship captured, and he was later imprisoned in Messina, Sicily. He wrote many papers while in captivity, but he did not insist on exchanging prisoners.
Lucca, a republic very close to Liguria, could have received refugees, but it was occupied by the Austrians at the end of July 1799 as part of the siege of Genoa.
From Genoa, you can also enter France from Nice along the coastline, but before that, the refugees had arrived in Bordeaux by boat. The defenders on the Nice defense line were afraid that enemies would be mixed in with the refugees.
This line of defense was designed by Napoleon himself and extended to Savona. One of the chief engineers currently in charge of Italian defense projects is the person in charge of the "Coast Plan".
Later, some refugees were allowed to evacuate to small islands on the southern coast of France. After the war, some chose to return to Italy, while others stayed, not wanting to return to their hometowns that could become battlefields at any time.
The idea of having priests perform military service was first thought up by the Jacobins of the Cisalpine Republic. At that time, Jourdan's Law had been promulgated, and even Jourdan himself was in Italy. There should not be a "privileged class" who did not perform military service. .
Archbishop Visconti wrote to Pope Pius VI, but Pius VI was no longer able to save himself, and there was no response from the Holy See. Even the current Pius VII was elected in Vienna.
After Napoleon returned from Egypt, he did not mention the cancellation of military service for priests. This may be because Egypt has many people who do not need to serve in the military, and Bishop Visconti has been committed to reducing the size of the diocese, reducing the diocese of Milan from 68 to 31.
Suvorov's pre-war mobilization of soldiers meant liberating Italy from the enslavement of the unbelieving French, for which every upright officer should make sacrifices.
So when the coalition forces arrived in Milan, they found that the French wounded soldiers were sheltered by a group of priests, and they could not do the same thing as in Verona.
The archbishop had already gone to the school to teach the children to read. Are the soldiers going to the school with bayonets and arresting an old man in his seventies in front of the children?
Dumbledore was almost captured by the Ministry of Magic once, but he used Phoenix Fawkes and apparated in front of the principal's office. Fudge's expression at that time was wonderful.
At this time, Georgiana remembered that Murat had been captured in the hospital in Brescia. Thanks to his good health, he could survive in the prisoner of war camp even if he had malaria.
She suddenly remembered something and looked down at the letter.
"Do you remember Colonel Frederic Bianchi? General." Georgiana asked, looking at the letter. "He suppressed only one rebellion in Slovenia."
"What's that letter about?" Mulla asked warily.
"I asked my jeweler about the origin of a gemstone. He wrote a letter to Slovenia, which was delayed for a while because of the rebellion." Georgiana looked at Mullah and said, "That rebellion was suppressed by Colonel Bianchi."
Mullah said nothing.
Georgiana gave him the letter and asked him to read it.
Maura snatched it away and read the letter.
Although Gabrio said there is no impossible road, there are indeed situations where there is no way to go.
Georgiana thought to herself.
If the "pirates" are driven from safe haven, they must find safe haven. Or as Mulla just said, find a place where you can dock. When Corfu was occupied, the Adriatic Sea was like a sealed vase.
Of course, there may be another situation. The British Navy has a higher rate of fire and accuracy than the French Navy. The strength of the French Navy has been reduced since the Battle of Aboukir, especially its self-confidence.
If Napoleon hadn't transferred the French Navy's pension, they wouldn't have felt that there was "no way" to go.
But now the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet is Fox's younger brother. Fox advocates peace. If even Fox thinks...
"Don't think that I will ignore the overall situation just because of this trivial matter!" Mullah waved the letter and then slammed it on the table. "All preparations have been made, and we can't turn around." !”
"The front to Naples is too long. Besides, didn't you tell me that you once suddenly turned around during a forced march and raided Leghorn?" Denon said.
"That's different from this..."
"It's not a sneak attack, it's a reaffirmation of the Treaty of Campo Formio." Georgiana interrupted Mulla and repeated what Rohrban said, "Corquilla Island belongs to..." in the Treaty of Campo Formio.
"It's French." Denon immediately answered, "It will only belong to the Republic of the Seven Islands after the Peace of Amiens is signed."
"Don't look at me like that, I also hope for peace." Georgiana looked at Mullah and said, "I can't solve Malta's problems."
"What about your freedom of navigation proposal?" Mullah asked.
Georgiana shook her head. She felt that what she said was simply a dream.
